Shen Zhiyun paused, then asked, "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

Zhao Wu snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head: "No, those are things our little girl makes. If you like to drink them, I'll wait for her to come back and have her teach you."

Shen Zhiyun quickly refused: "Then there's no need, just sell me two jars!"

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go get it for you."

"Okay, thank you!"

Seeing that Shen Zhiyun was still outside, Zhao Wu quickly made way for her: "Come in first, there are stools over there, you can sit for a while, I'll be right back."

Zhao Wu pointed to the small stone bench under the peach tree, invited Shen Zhiyun in, poured her a cup of tea, and then went to the wine cellar to fetch peach blossom wine.

The cellar was full of wine, mostly fruit wine, and the other half was strong liquor that Tang Yue had specially brewed for them.

However, none of them were heavy drinkers, and they would only drink this wine during festivals and holidays.

Seeing these wines reminded Zhao Wu of something. Tang Yue's coming-of-age ceremony should be approaching, but she usually appears in public as a silly boy. Should she still celebrate this ceremony?

He stroked his chin. He should probably pass away. That brat, always running around outside. Although she acts like a boy, she's still a girl after all.

While Zhao Wu was thinking about something, he suddenly grinned, reached out and took two jars of peach blossom wine, and left the wine cellar.

Shen Zhiyun didn't wander off; she just sat on a small stool in the courtyard and waited for Zhao Wu.

Just as Bai Xiaobao said, the courtyard is indeed very large and has plenty of food. Their family must spoil that little girl a lot, and A-Yue would definitely like such a place to live.

He thought that if he found A-Yue in the future, he could buy a bigger yard and plant it full of fruits and vegetables for her.

Zhao Wu quickly came out with the wine jar.

He walked quickly to Shen Zhiyun and placed the two jars of wine in front of him.

"Here you are, young master, the wine you ordered."

Shen Zhiyun stood up and accepted it. It was much larger than the bottle that Grandma Zhao had given him before. He bent down and took out some silver from his purse and handed it to Zhao Wu.

The money pouch had been washed until it was somewhat faded, and it was embroidered with a few small green bamboos. There was a small character "Shen" in the corner.

Zhao Wu noticed that the young master was well-dressed, but was surprised by his worn-out wallet. Not wanting to speculate on his intentions, he shook his head and declined.

“Young master, no need for money. These few bottles of wine aren’t worth much. Look at this yard, it’s full of peach trees. This was made by that girl when she had nothing to do. If she knew you like to drink it, she would be very happy. Don’t be so formal, we’re all neighbors. Here, take it. If it’s not enough, come back for more later. Next time you come, the little girl might get it for you.”

The little girl had always loved looking at handsome men. Whenever she saw a good-looking man, she would stare at him until he left before looking away. Later, after Li Yang gave her a long lecture, she started to look at him secretly.

If she comes back next time and finds out that her next-door neighbor is such a handsome guy, she'll be so excited that she won't be able to sleep at night.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyun's expression shifted slightly. Knowing that Qian Zhaowu would not accept the money, he put it back into his money bag and thanked her with a slight smile: "Thank you very much. I live next door to you. If you need anything, you can ask us for help."

Zhao Wu smiled憨憨地, with the heroic spirit of a warrior: "Alright."

"Then I'll be going. Thank you for the wine."

Shen Zhiyun picked up the two jars of wine and left.

Zhao Wu escorted Shen Zhiyun to the door and only closed it after Shen Zhiyun had disappeared.

This young master is truly handsome.

The scenery is beautiful and clear, as serene as bamboo...

in the room

Grandma Zhao was sewing shoe soles on the bed. After waiting for a long time, Zhao Wu still hadn't returned, so she prepared to get out of bed to check on him.

As soon as Zhao Wu entered the house, he saw his grandmother half-lying on the bed, about to get up. He chuckled and went up to her, saying, "Grandma, don't get out of bed, I'm back."

"I'm a grown man now, and you still don't trust me? Honestly."

He helped Grandma Zhao back onto the bed, then sat down beside her and listened to her rambling.

Grandma Zhao picked up a shoe sole and slapped it on Zhao Wu's head. "You brat, no matter how old you are, you're still my grandson. What, you can't worry about me anymore, huh?"

Zhao Wu exaggeratedly covered his head and said, "Oh, Grandma, you're right, you're right."

Grandma Zhao chuckled as she watched Zhao Wu clown around.

"By the way, Grandma, Yue's fourteenth birthday is coming up soon. Shall we throw her a coming-of-age banquet?"

Grandma Zhao cut the thread with scissors and answered Zhao Wu's question: "Of course we'll do it. Xiaoyue has been taking on jobs at the Duke's mansion recently. She should be busy now that she's back. When Li Yang comes back tonight, I'll mention it to him and hear his thoughts."

"Okay, Grandma."

The neighbor's yard

Shen Zhiyun took the wine back, but Bai Xiaobao hadn't returned yet. He put the wine in Bai Xiaobao's room and found that the man hadn't even made his bed after getting up. So he made the bed before going back to his study.
